How to replicate MultiPen Replicator into double digits?

Question

Hi all,

I'm building a sound for 12 pens to be controlled from Kyma Control.

I built my sound and used the MultiPen Replicator. 

For some reason once the replication number is 12 the VCS doesn't populate with the widgets I'm expecting to see; up to 9 works perfectly. I played around with the parameter fields in the replicator, mostly the prefix, but haven't been able to figure it out yet. Here's the VCS; shouldn't there be 'Pen1Down' through 'Pen9Down' button widgets? http://kyma.symbolicsound.com/qa/?qa=blob&qa_blobid=12802001263564775007 

Thanks for any thoughts or suggestions!

In the Replicator Prefix field, you could use:

{1 to: 16 collect: [:i | 'Pen' & i]}

That does it! Thanks! Just for my own knowledge and future use, is there a reason for having to go about it this way? I would expect 'Pen1' in the Replicator Prefix field and IncrementPrefix checked to produce the same result.

You're right, it does something quite similar but puts leading zeros on the single digit suffixes (PenDown01, PenDown02, etc) and those are not in the global map. This other solution creates a collection of prefixes, one for each copy, and the single digit prefixes don't have a leading zero.

That makes sense. Thank you for your help!
